If/when I switch to a flash card recorder, I think I would back up as often
as possible on to a laptop hard drive, long before I filled the whole flash
card (in other words, back up after each recording session, even if it is a
short session). That sounds more reasonable than filling a 2 gig card befor=
e
doing any backups.

One can also buy special portable hard drives with flash card readers
built-in.

Hello folks,

           A throw-away comment from the depths of my ignorance of all
these technical comparisons.

A 2 gig card full of field recordings is not only a hell of a lot of files
for editing.  It is also a hell of a lot of "eggs in one basket"!
